Equanimeous St. Brown teaching the other wide receivers!
While coaches are very important in football, players something learn even more when the tips and lessons are coming from their teammates. This has been the case in the wide receiver room where Equanimeous St. Brown has been trying to help the other wide receiver learn the scheme brought in by Luke Getsy who was also in Green Bay for the past few seasons.
For one, St. Brown has tried to help receivers with possible improvements he learned from former Packers all-pro receiver Davante Adams.
"He's been a coach in the receiver room with us (Packer receivers) as well as the other receiver coaches," St. Brown said of Adams. "He's taught me and the other receivers so much. It's hard to talk about it all."
There is one aspect in Adams' game in particular that stuck with St. Brown and he has been talking about this to his teammates in Chicago
"I mean what he's really good at, a lot of people know he's good at his releases," St. Brown said. "So you chat the coaches up on his releases a lot. All the other receivers in Green Bay try to copy it a lot and try to learn to do what he does."
St. Brown has also been telling Bears receivers to be perfectly acquainted in the playbook in case QB Justin Fields makes a mistake.
"Like I told the receivers, I'm like, 'Sometimes you've got to know all the plays, perfectly, because everybody makes mistakes,' " St. Brown said. "Let's say, if he (Fields) makes a mistake in the huddle, you've got to know what the right play call is.
"I tell them even Aaron Rodgers has made mistakes in the huddle before. As receivers, we've got to make him right. If we make mistakes, he makes us right. So, it's a team effort and we've got to work with each other."
"I tell them even Aaron Rodgers has made mistakes in the huddle before. As receivers, we've got to make him right. If we make mistakes, he makes us right. So, it's a team effort and we've got to work with each other."
This is an important point. I agree that in an ideal world, you would like all 11 players on the field to know what everyone's job is on every single play so mistakes could be avoided.
